I'm trying to add a disable attribute to the html that is generated via @html helper functions but can't seem to get something working that works in the attrib parameters of the html helper. what i have below will still write disabled for the html... but i can't remove it cause then the helper doesn't work.
i have a variable defined:
@{ var displayItem = (Model.TypeId == 100) }
@Html.TextBox("listitem", "", new {@class = "form-control", @disabled = (@displayItem ? "" : "disabled")})
but because i have to list the parameter @disabled, that produces html like this:
<input class="form-control" disabled="" id="listitem" name="listitem" type="text" value="" />
because disabled is listed it disables the input. but the html helper doesn't work unless i give it a parameter name.
How to write the disabled in the parameter list so that disabled doesn't show at all if it's not supposed to be disabled?
